Hello there
I am shortly to become the owner of N3237
. (collect her after my holidays near end of this month) I am interested in making a foam/carbon rudder as per the technical section of this site, which is brilliant by the way big thanks to those who take time to create these articles.
I know as the boat is old the gains will be insignificant using carbon but it's more to do with the enjoyment and gratification of building one myself, as I would never dream of spending that kind of cash to buy new!! Oh and I am working on the waistline also!
Anyways..... does anyone have the dimensions or a profile plan of making a rudder. (lifting type) I would be very grateful. or could tell me how to do it in idiots terminology
.
I can visualise the use of a router creating depth in the foam and then shaping, but what are the depths??
I had a look at "Profili" as suggested but all this computer wizadry is just withchcraft to me I much prefer something on paper.
Sorry that my first posting is just a bunch of demands!!! and more to come re vacuum bagging!
Regards to all, may meet some of you at the more northwesterly events -Craig
